Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez appear to be keeping some distance between themselves, as evidenced by their preference for air kisses over in-person smooches!

The couple, who have had a rough few weeks, went out on Sunday in Santa Monica with Ben's mother Chris, but they made no eye contact.

We're not just talking mouth to mouth either, because they completely refrained from giving each other cheek kisses, opting for the traditional socialite air smack.


When walking with J Lo, BA gave the camera a thumbs-up. For a brief while, the two strolled arm in arm, but to be honest, there wasn't much interaction between them. 

Adding to the context, Ben's mother was also present during their outing, suggesting that this might not be a romantic rendezvous.

Over the weekend, Jennifer was captured by photographers on two occasions. On Friday, she was seen entering an L.A. studio, looking a bit worn out, just hours after announcing the cancellation of her tour.


She claims she canceled the tour to devote more time to her family, which is a valid excuse for her to break her promises considering the issues she and Affleck have been having. 

Recall that although the two are no longer living together, they have attempted to appear somewhat united by going to Ben's daughter Violet's graduation despite their hands clasp awkwardly.
